| What are the Benchmarks and
Scoring Tool? |
|
The
Benchmarks are a compilation of security configuration actions and settings
that "harden" Red Hat Linux, SUSE Linux, and Slackware Linux operating systems.
They recommend Level 1 Benchmark guidance, representing the prudent level of minimum due care for operating system security.
Level 1 Benchmark settings/actions:
- Can be understood and performed by system administrators with any
level of security knowledge and experience;
- Are unlikely to cause an interruption of service to the operating
system or the applications that run on it; and
- Can be automatically monitored either by CIS Scoring Tools or by CIS
Certified tools available from security software vendors.
